I would like a list of the best resources on the web for Reading Tarot Cards.
I am very interested in Tarot Card Tutorials which will teach the complete
beginner step-by-step how to read tarot cards. Tutorials should preferably be

based on the popular Raider Waite Tarot card deck.

I'm not interested in sites which are just
offering paid psychic readings online.

Interesting Topics for me are:

Tarot Card Meanings,Tarot layout and spreads, Tarot Card History,
How to write a Tarot reading Journal and learn from it,
Tarot Cards and Meditation for finding the Cards personal meanings for you,
How to properly run a Tarot reading sessions,
How accurate are Tarot Cards, Tarot Software, 
Who are the best Tarot readers - do they have a website?
Any other interesting information would be great as well.

If there are any audio and video tutorials related to Tarot and if there are
any affiliate programs related to Tarot Cards I'd be very keen to learn of
these as well.

Hi,

Thanks for the info.

From all the links I liked the following:

http://www.learntarot.com
http://www.byzant.com

and also:
http://healing.about.com/cs/uc_directory/a/uc_readtarot.htm
http://www.angelpaths.com

I'm sorry if I did not make it clear in my question,
but I'm looking for information which is available for free on the web.
Almost all other sites are courses or books or services
which cost money and this is not what I'm looking for.

Could you find free information and articles on the
topics I mentioned in the original questions - emphasizing:

- How to learn Tarot step-by-step 
- How to find what the cards' universal meaning is as well
as what they mean to you personally through meditation
- Writing a tarot reading journal.
- Tarot layout and spreads
- Tarot Reading sessions for you and for others.

Thanks for your help,
Best Regards,
Dandin

Rainbow!

Thank you very much for your efforts.
You've provided great help.

Give this site a try:

http://university.barnesandnoble.com/

Registering is free and it has many courses one of which is "Tarot for
Beginners". (I once took it.) The teacher posts lessons and the
students can post their questions and "homeworks".

In any case, good luck!
